FWC.com — Did you know the Florida scrub-Jay is the only bird species that makes its home exclusively in the Sunshine State?

Only one bird species, the Florida scrub-jay, makes its home exclusively in the Sunshine State. This songbird, with its bright blue headdress, wings and tail and bold, curious behavior depends on scrub habitat for survival. (FWC image)
